When an entire nation succumbs to the allure of entitlement, an almost audible tremor is sensed across the country.

The concept of equality is suffering from extreme fatigue. We have abused it and overworked it and we expect more from it than it actually is. Equality screams its demands in thousands of voices with thousands of valid reasons.

Poor beautiful Justice. Not only is she blind, but now is made dizzy and confused from the reverberating echoes of all those demands.

Meanwhile, our Congress, secure in their own entitlements, scoffs at the very ability that created our great republic, the ability to compromise.

Not only do I sense the tremor, I’m beginning to see the cracks. Ideological lines have been traced in the sand with laser-like precision. The social network flashes information across the continent and around the world.

Truth, lies, exaggerations and manipulations are all neatly bundled and distributed to the waiting masses. Opposing facts are given credibility as deemed necessary by unseen editors.
